Ohio Avenue Youth Center

Programming at the center for youth and families includes counseling, early childhood services, arts, and recreation. Leadership development and drug, alcohol, and violence prevention are the focus of after school performing and creative arts activities.

 
Community-based after-school and summer camp programming provide opportunities for young people ages 8-17 to enhance their personal growth and development.
